Closing Quote

Human thinking is still in as great a state of disorder and jumble as language was before the alphabet, music before the scale was discovered, printing before Gutenberg, or mathematics before Pythagoras formulated its laws.

Being the exact counterpart of these in its particular field, its mission, like theirs, will be to bring order out of chaos.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
